For those who use FXpansion3 and nudge with their audio tracks you can use the following nudge and ommit the sampleslide plugin ... 3x 100 (3x 4480 =13440) 1x 50 (1x 2240 = 2240) 1x 10 (1x 480 = 480) 1x 5 (1x 240 = 240) So the total is 13440+2240+480+240= 16400 That is 17 samples away from 16383 for normal UAD1 plug and only 4 samples for a Pultec Uad1 plugin Even 17 samples is not much for a latency to need sampleslide because you can nudge ALL your drumtracks (the ones not using actually a UAD1 plugin with UAD plugin compensator) Hope this will help even someone out there...

description: e, each card can be bought for around 900$-1000-1100$ used and with three cards you can have 45 dsps !!!!!!! Ok back to reality... One Pulsar card with 6 dsps is adequate for mixing a song and using some great plugins as I mentioned. The same card can be configured for a synth recording platforma... I am happy to say more if I see anyone interested... Regards, DimitriosNeil, I found it to be uneven in respect to if I played the bass up and down the next at the same volume the sansamp did not reproduce that. On the SVPCL it did, very evenely. Regarding interpreting the dynamics, I didn't get much of that feedback at all. I always played the sansamp on full blend and full output and could never get a solid -10db even with active electronics. Maybe I DID have a bad one.

description: iving/sending signal from the external hardware effect in SX and everything is in sync again........or use a UAD-1 plugin on the send and route that through the Paris aux, use it as a send effect on the track that is being processed with an external effect on the insert and all is OK. Looks like there has to be an either/or situation s to having a VST plugin on the insert or the send. Two external FX and there is no delay compensation. Makes sense. What isn't making sense (at least right now) is that if I add a VST plugin either before opr after the external processor on the insert or send, the delay compensation still doesn't work. Well, anyway, it's still possible to use VST FX in Paris as I posted earlier. Just don't try using hardware on the send and return in Paris and them routing it through a Paris aux. It's a bust. I'll get to the bottom of this.and find a kludge......never fear. ;O) DeejWell, I've been having some major freezeups in Cubase. I thought it might be clock cables of unequal length.
